"As we all know, the mind, even the black mind, is not made up of just literacy and intellect. It has not finished its work or fulfilled itself even if it can sing like Mahalia Jackson or dance like John Bumbles. It goes on fucking us up and throwing us back, and it must be listened to."
Michelle Wallace, "Afterword: "Why Are There No Great Black Artists?" The Problem of Visuality in African-American Culture"
